I’m actually impressed with the way they tied everything back together at the end. I can’t say I was surprised that Steph turns out to be working with the Enclave, the deathclaw pack battle was pretty sweet as was the surprise capabilities of the NCR power armor and Thaddeus using his toes to stabilize the rifle. I know it was pure fan service but I love the NCR payoff at the end and while you could criticize it for essentially just setting up the same old faction conflict as all the games do it works. I am curious about what Hank’s final plan is and was caught out by the fact it seems he has his own agenda separate from all the classic factions. I also thought it was a hilarious bit with Culkin’s Legatus character claiming the title of Caesar and vowing to create a new “palace” to be the seat of the legion’s power in New Vegas and declaring the intent to build “Caesars Palace” that shit cracked me up. What did yall think of the end of this season? What do you think Hank’s programming is for? Also notably absent from both seasons is any whiff of the Institute, I wonder where they might figure into all this eventually?

And then there of course is that post credits scene.

A new Liberty Prime of course is the logical escalation for season 3

    I wasn’t arguing that the trope didn’t exist in Fallout, I’m arguing that it’s Jon Nolan falling back on his older material and that it’s lazy. If synths exist, then you don’t need to create a different version of that. Because now you have what is essentially the same mystery duplicated.

    I also have a major problem with synths existing in Fallout but I will spare you those thoughts. We might as well just demolish the rest of canon and establish time travel too. Fallout can be every other sci-fi franchise story retold in vault suits and iconography from the older games.
